Psst - need a holiday charity?

Off-topic, but the subject of holiday donations and restrictions on abortion both seem to pop up in here fairly often.

Meet Lenzi Sheible, a 20-yr-old mother who started Fund Texas Choice - which helps poor Texas women travel to other states for abortions.

Before some lurking busybody asks - I have no connection with this charity. Just saw the article in in the NY TIMES this morning and think this is a very worthy cause. It helps poor women and pisses off Republicans. What more could I ask for?

...defenders of abortion and Roe v Wade need to step it up and push back against the religionistas trying to put women back in the box.
